  1. The early wrought iron sheets were much thicker than the modern steel stuff and sheets do 'look' thicker as they corrode and attract algae and moss
  2. That looks much better, especially if there are going to be overlaps necessary.
  3. There is a possibility that it is stocked near me - if it is (and I remember), I will try to inspect some tomorrow...
  4. It's 15 thou thick in 4mm scale, apparently - looks like it might be flat underneath?
  5. The sight of a Shackleton always reminds me of the sad fate of WR986. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=157361
  6. If only there was somewhere with some nice, new empty shelves...
  7. Landing at the wrong airport is not unknown.. https://www.flyingmag.com/news/cause-c-17-landing-too-small-airport-revealed
  8. Wire-wound guitar strings are handy for that sort of thing - know any (clumsy) musicians?
  9. I once won a crate of wine, just because I was stubborn enough to find my way through a hopelessly convoluted competition. I did ask them if all twelve crates were actually won, but they never answered that question - I suspect that I may have been the only person who managed to get to the end and actually enter the competition. It can be in your favour...
  10. A good punch-up to clear the air can often lead to the cementing of a relationship. Do you need seconds, and will betting be allowed?
  11. What we really need is all this to be sorted out by somebody obsessed with boxes - is there anybody that we can think of?
  12. This has appeared on Twitter.
  13. Mmm, I think she has you figured out, though.....
  14. Perhaps if we all sent her one each as well - she might come along and see if it's worth trading up?
  15. They need to be manipulated with subliminal manoeuvres.. ..etc..
  16. What about married couples who are courting (not necessarily each other)? Asking for a friend.
  17. Panicking? No need to worry, take her for a romantic day out on an old railway line - because she's worth it. https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2018/0212/940068-waterford-greenway/
  18. Olfa (and others) make "plastic cutters" which are a much safer option than the standard 'Stanley knife' approach. They work by 'ploughing' a V-shaped groove which is then used to snap the sheet. Much less scope for personal damage....
  19. Other pictures have appeared. https://www.facebook.com/groups/EarlyIrishMilitaria/permalink/2168783616731534/
  20. I don't remember seeing a price - it was all quite a blur - but, it might have been these people. https://dundasmodels.co.uk/webstore/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=5788&name=county-donegal-style-railcar-type-2&Itemid=590&category_pathway=527 It's been there for the last few years, I might remember to ask next February...
  21. And yet more.. And even more.. This little vignette was very impressive in 7mm.
